Hello,
I am experience a problem with rsync spawned process will not die on their
own. The problem first showed its face when I ran rsync through
/etc/inetd.conf. I changed to running rsyncd as daemon and I still have
the problem.
Description:
1) I have rsync server setup with following parameters:
[orcanow]
path = /orca/data/now
comment = file depot
use chroot = no
uid = orca
gid = orca
auth users = orca
secrets file = /etc/rsyncd.secrets
strict modes = yes
read only = false
exclude = orcallator.pid
2) I run rsync via rc.d scripts on Solaris Box (Sun E480R).
/usr/local/bin/rsync --daemon
3) I have 400-500 small rsyncs occur every 5 minutes from client-initiated
connections. The rsyncs usually involve syncing one file that changes
very 5 minutes (orca data).
4) Over a 24 hours period, I usually end up with about 250 rsync processes
that did not die on their own. I can stop/start the rsync daemon to
remove, but worry about interupting a data transfer which could effect
data.
Has anyone encountered similar problem? I'm running the latest Rsync
2.5.5 now. I first noticed problem while running version 2.4.4 on server
and the upgraded to 2.5.5. Most clients are running version 2.4.4.
